NHTSA Complaint #764120 — 1999 CHEVROLET BLAZER

BRAKE ROTORS RUSTED ,CAUSING BAD VIBRATION WHEN STOPPING. TWO OF THE ROTORS COULD BE TURNED AND TWO HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE RUST PROBLEM. I KEPT THE TWO THAT WERE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF THIS VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVEN MUCH IN WINTER IN MICHIGAN, THAT ROTORS WOULD RUST BECAUSE OF THE HUMIDITY. I TOLD THEM I KEPT THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, BUT THEY SAID THAT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I FELT THE MATERIAL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THAT WOULD NOT COVER IT. I CONTACTED GM TO GET A FIELD REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME AND NUMBER TO TALK TO BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE IT TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT GIVE ME THE FIELD REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME AND NUMBER EITHER. I FEEL THAT IF A VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM IS GOING TO RUST SITTING IN A GARAGE IN THE WINTER, THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE PUBLISHED IN LARGE PRINT IN THE VEHICLE BROCHURES. *AK
